Live concert by Welsh singer-songwriter Martyn Joseph, blending Celtic and folk music with songs of social protest, at Telford's Warehouse.
Martyn Joseph plays Telford's Warehouse on Wednesday 2 December, with doors opening at 19:00 and the show starting at 20:15. It's a solo singer-songwriter set, and the night is promoted by Aquair International Limited.
Joseph is a Welsh singer-songwriter born in Penarth in 1960, and his work sits at the crossing of Celtic and folk music, often with social protest running through it. He's a Cardiff songwriter who's spent years on the acoustic circuit, and he describes his own set as combining 'songs with a message' with 'fragile love songs'. That's a fair summary of what he does: one moment he's leaning into the political and the social, the next he's on the quieter, more personal side of things.
He's one of the more recognisable names on the folk and acoustic circuit, and he's got a string of Top 50 hits behind him, including 'Dolphins Make Me Cry'. In 2004, he was voted 'Best Male Artist' at the BBC Welsh Music Awards, and Tom Robinson of BBC 6 has called him 'one of the most charismatic and electrifying performers in Britain today'.
